5.8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The wiring diagrams of the boat are shown in a special appendix. Lo-
cation and operation of the main circuit breaker:
− See position of the main circuit switch in figure 5. Note that the
model of the main electrical switch might vary slightly between
the boat models (ex. BRX).
− Position "O": Battery or both batteries are turned off
− Position "1": the battery is in use, the charger is recharging the
battery/batteries
The locations of the instruments and switches for the electrical
equipment are shown in Fig. 6. The circuit fuses are located next to
the appropriate switch and the fuse sizes are indicated in Fig. 6. The
Silver boat models feature resetting fuses that can be reconnected
after being blown by flipping up the tipping switch.
If you leave the boat for a longer time, switch off the current from
the main circuit breaker.
When removing or re-installing batteries, take care not to touch
the poles of the battery with any metal object simultaneously or the
pole and the metal hull of the boat.
Use only the charger installed in the boat or a device of equal
capacity to recharge the batteries. Excessive recharging current
causes a risk of explosion.
When connecting the system to shore power, first connect the
boat outlet and then the jetty outlet.
WARNING! Never touch any part of a live AC system.
WARNING! When the boat is connected to shore power, never
swim near the boat. A defective cable may cause an
electric shock.
CAUTION! Never switch off the current from the main circuit
breaker while the engine is running.
CAUTION! Do not use the metal hull of the boat as an electri-
cal conductor.
